REVIEW: 43268 Lilo and Stitch Beach House

[Pchan1983]

Here is my review on LEGO Disney 43268 Lilo and Stitch Beach House:

THE GOOD:

• Great looking house, while it is open back design, it has enough depth to be great looking.
• Simple but yet very interesting builds with some cool details through out.
• Surprisingly good space ship build despite its size.
• Excellent minifigures.

THE NOT SO GOOD:

• A bit pricey but expected with Disney license.

I was never a stitch fan nor have watched the animation but this set immediately caught my eyes with vibrant coloured beach house when it was first announced.  With a 20% off deal, which made the pricing somewhat competitive, I show no hesitation to get this.  And it was fun to build.  It's very similar to the UP house in terms of details and level of building.  But because if its size and exterior, this allows some very interesting details across the build.  The results do look good.  The fun extends into the interior with some great furniture builds as well.  I'm also impress with the small space ship build, as it is small yet effective.  In the end, it has a great building experience while looking great.  Of course it also have the potential to extend into a very impressive beach house.  All 5 (6 if you count the soft toy) minifigures are excellent, while Stitch has a more vibrant colour than previous variants and Lilo reused some parts from last year Fatnasia Mickey's variant.  All minifigures has its own characters and I just love them.  The use of Dreamlings body for the soft toy is smart, although the scale is a bit off but guess that's how you work your way around without making new moulds which would have push the price of this set further.  As I mentioned before, although I have no attachments to the licensed property, I had lots of fun and absolutely love the end results.  It's definitely a set I would recommend to everyone if you are into cool LEGO buildings and unique minifigures.

I finally built mine today.  Gotta say I'm a bit disappointed in how cramped everything is.  Lilo just barely fits in her bed.  The layout of Lilo's room is all wrong.  Nani's bed is way too small for a full sized minifig.  I love the special touches like the punishment jar.  But there are just so many things wrong with this build.  House is the wrong color as it's the post destruction rebuild.  Along with that the dome is Lilo & Stitch's room so in this iteration is way too small since there's no way to have their bunk beds in it.  The laundry room should be  separate from the kitchen.  Fridge is the wrong color and in the wrong location and most of the rest of the appliances & sink are in the wrong positions in the Kitchen.  I knew going in that the house was the wrong color but I expected more from this long awaited set.  Now I need to build it properly in the correct color as well as build the reconstruction properly also.  I can forgive them not putting the house up on stilts like it should be but the general interior layout is just so horribly wrong.

oh, I guess the fact that I'm not familiar with the source material may have ruled out some of the flaws you have pointed out.
